"It was a family affair. Running on the track was really fun, but it was wet, so it slowed us down," said Graham Peck, who ran track and cross country at Dulaney. "It was neat running through the gate."

Eldersburg native Sherry Stick won the female division for the third time in four years, finishing in 19:02, which was 86seconds ahead of Kaylyn Peck. Stick, 34, was fourth overall.

"This is one of my favorite races," Stick said. "I love horse racing. My family brought me to the track when I was 3 months old. I already have tickets to Black-Eyed Susan Day and now I get to go to the Preakness [the winners received two Preakness tickets]. It is pretty amazing they let us run on the same track where Secretariat did."

All 406 runners began the race from the starting gate. The entire 3.1-mile race took place on Pimlico property, which included a trip around the famous dirt course, finishing in the infield.

The race raises money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Other notable runners included Forest Boyce, Pimlico's fourth-leading rider, who finished 36th overall in 23:42, and trainer Tim Keefe, who placed 22nd in 22:06. Keefe is expected to enter Eighttofasttocatch in Friday's $300,000 Pimlico Special. Boyce will have the mount.

A record Preakness crowd saw the Kentucky Derby winner streak to victory Saturday at Pimlico Race Course, tantalizing fans with the possibility that California Chrome will be the first horse in nearly four decades to win racing's coveted Triple Crown.
